What to pack

What December feels like

December stacks up more snow than any other month here and the daylight is at its thinnest, which is exactly the combination this town is designed around. The Christmas Stroll shuts down Main Street the first weekend, and by late month the holiday crowds have found Big Sky.

Winter is doing its thing: 16.2 in of snow in a typical December, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
